Another real good show from1971. I have had this same recording on cass. And now cd,for 30 years and it still holds a up as a good aud copy.
71’ really ... took off in the late fall, and also great Dec shows. Check out Taft U. And NYC Felt forum shows,great stuff,if you enjoy this concert you will enjoy these s well.
OK,for this night 4 stars not 5 only because I dont hear one standout “new,or different” jam. Still,great listening, and always puts a smile on my face.
Peace………..

Subject: Special 50th Anniversary Story !!
Subject: Special 50th Anniversary Story !!
Everyone talks about what happened when they were at these two shows at the Hollywood Palladium. In 1971, I was a surfer hippie from Orange County—roll
...
one and go surfing—everybody understands that. The only bummer about ‘71 is all these surfers from OC became Jesus Freaks. Sorry about that, but it was not my fault. It would be interesting to see where all those losers are now. So, I was 17 & I bought two tickets to take a very pretty SurfGirl to see the Dead at the Hollywood Palladium’s August 6th show. We met a friend with his date there & scored a table to sit & watch the show. That was even more kool because the tables were hard to get & they had a great view of the show, the stage & the crowd. This SurfGirl had a crush on me & I thought a first date seeing the Grateful Dead was a Special Thing. WELL HECK, IT WAS A SPECIAL THING. Jerry Garcia was 30 feet away & played pedal-steel for a full set with NRPS, then he played a full night with our boys. It only took 15 minutes into NRPS when my SurfGirl excused herself to the bathroom—well that’s sort of normal. So after 20 minutes I thought it was still normal, then it turned into 1 hour, then 1 ½ hours, then 3 hours, and of course, the whole show. Since it was a Dead show & a great night, I thought she found her true psychedelic SurfDude, and she was out dancing with him. I thought I was bum-out-of-luck. BUT, when the lights came back on in the Hollywood Palladium, my SurfBabe came back to our table. Her hair was wet & she was drained from crying for 3+ hours in the toilet stall. I asked her what was wrong & she screamed “what is your problem?…you didn’t even notice I was gone....I told you I was going to the bathroom….and you left me in there for 4 hours….why didn’t you save me from these hairy miscreants?…” What? Really? What?? I am so sorry beautiful young surfgirl, if only I had known, I would have risked all to save you from the hippies—even getting thrown out of the Hollywood Palladium for hanging out in the wrong bathroom. That would have been a small price to pay! Except Jeez, it never really occurred to me that girls hide in bathroom stalls & cry when they get scared. I tried to be understanding, but I was not sensitive enough. Things did not get better after that. To say the least, it was a very long drive back to Huntington Beach.
To all the gals who read this, I honestly thought we could have a nice date & evening. I was young too. I was not trying to take a teenage girl to a free-love hippie fest.
True Story. No BS.

Jerry's solo in Hard to Handle is the best guitar solo in the long and illustrious history of guitar solos. I don't care if you disagree.
And this is ... probably the best Aud of any Dead show. You're right there in the middle of the floor and this crowd is in a frenzy. Hang on!
I don't even mind the Woo-Woo guy in Casey Jones as I'd probably have lost my mind at this show too.
Every song here is the quintessential version of that song. If you don't download this and play it all the time then you're just not living life to the fullest extent possible.

What a great show and recording! The clarity of the music and audience reaction is fantastic, almost like a Matrix (SBD+AUD).
I compared a few parts of ... the show with the other audience recordings and this one was the winner. One or two of the others had wrong pitch, and Bobby's leads got lost in the mix.
Listening to the whole show now and impressed by how great they're playing.

Solid 1st set. Jerry just won't let ... up in Hard to Handle, and the audience is really worked up.
The Other One -> Me & My Uncle -> Other One is really something. Very dark and wild TOO, and the jam coming out of Me & My Uncle is beautiful. Drums are on point throughout, and Bobby manages not to flub any lyrics.
Lovelight ends as a barnburner, with Pig screaming his lungs out!

Thanks to the dozens of previous reviewers. Scroll down to the bottom and "Heap" nailed it back in 2004. I have never heard a better audience recording
...
and the audience noise actually enhances my enjoyment. I've been listening to many Dead shows lately and enjoying the many soundboards available on Concert Vault and others. But this performance just seemed to explode relative to the many other excellent shows I've been listening to. I am not a big Pigpen fan but "Too Hard to Handle" is a great version and I can't think of any other song that equals Jerry's guitar passion on this track. Thanks to the band and to the inspired taper who managed to get this fantastic recording.

Absolutely my favorite show of all time. I love their sound in this year, and this show in particular, and recordings of this quality, from that era, are rare.
IMO, the Bobby Mc Gee is the best I've heard. Bobby's vocal is very relaxed, and Jerry's solo is AMAZING, every note just caressed. And very different than just a few nights later in Berkley. Bobby Mc Gee may not be a show stopper or smokin' hot, but listen to this one a few times in a row, and you will be all like damn, I love that song!

great it didn't matter. The New Riders opened up, and I got to see Garcia play pedal steel with them. What a night! Funny thing, I was standing right behind this guy that was holding a full size reel to reel tape recorder. I don't know how the hell he managed to do it, but he did. He had two guys holding microphones, one way to the left and one way to the right. The mic cables must have been at least 25 or 30 feet long, and these guys were holding the microphones up over the crowd. Pigpen was in great form that night and Garcia was playing his ass off, the band was on fire. I'm so glad those guys made that tape! It would have only been a distant memory.

about $5 between the three of us. Tickets were $5.50 at the door. Then a really loaded guy stumbled upon us and Larry reminded him of his deceased brother. He GAVE us the rest of the money to get in. What a story to tell to get into your first show and were given the money to do it. Larry was RIGHT. The Dead were great! Pigpen was in good form that night. This recording is excellent for a fan recording. Someone asked what guitar Garcia played that night. It was either a Stratocaster or Les Paul. I think these were his primary ones until getting Wolf from Alembic in 1973.

If the feel is right, this is a great place to start someone on the Dead.

My next memory is the blistering Other One that just slides into Me & My Uncle! I laughed out loud when I first heard that! It sounds amazing! This IS the GOOD 'OLE GRATEFUL DEAD! This whole tape has amazing sound quality the whole way through but I think the previous reviewer is right about the pitch problem! I never noticed that before! Oh well, it still sounds boss! Peace.

This is tooooo good, y'know?
This is so phattening it should be illegal.
One of the most amazing and beautiful AUD's on the block. Hand's down.
Great ... performance right out of the gate with much hot and heavy energetic phrasing ala Garcia.
GDP shouldn't have wasted so much time and money releasing the "Houseboat Tapes." They should have just released this recording as is in its stead. It would have been fine -- actually, it's better. It has more life than any SBD but it is not inundated with annoying handclaps and such.

The Dead had two releases that contained portions of this show:
Dick's Picks Volume 35 had these songs: The Other One > Me & My Uncle > The ... Other One - Deal - Sugar Magnolia - Morning Dew - Turn on your Lovelight
Their Download Series, which you could only get by downloading it from dead.net had these songs: Bertha - Mr. Charlie - Cumberland Blues - Brokedown Palace - Hard to Handle
I'm not sure if you can still download it from there. Anyway, why they would choose to chop up such a great show into pieces and release a little here and there is beyond me. This show is obviously in extremely high demand. I don't know why they don't release the whole thing in one package. Deadheads would eat it up, and it could become among their best-selling shows.
I mean, they only released 12 songs (on 2 different deals) and left out 7 tunes...maybe we'll get the other 7 songs on a third release...doesn't really make too much sense to me.

Until about three years ago, I had never really been exposed to the Grateful Dead. Nor had I been exposed to the Archive. I read a squib about the Archive
...
in Playboy, no less. I decided to check it out and noticed that there were quite a few Dead shows to say the least. Being a fan of blues and rock music my entire life, I figured this was a great way to discover a band that many people consider to be the greatest American band ever.
I don't remember how it was, but this was the first show I came across after performing a simple search for "Casey Jones" or something to that effect (Casey being the only Dead song I really knew at the time).
I scrolled down and read a review about this show that said something to the effect of "you can hear the crowed really take off into the stratosphere during Jerry's solo in 'Hard to Handle.'" I believe those words to remain true to this day. Thanks to this show I have discovered a band that will always have a place in my playlist, my conscience, and my heart. And after explore countless of hours of Dead shows since listening to this one, I can still say that this show is once of my favorites. The energy is great, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks to the guy that taped this sucker in 71,and to the archive, for allowing us to enjoy it all these years later.

This is a really lovely, classic audience recording.
Just having one drummer leaves space for Phil Lesh to play those lovely bass lines. Jerry, Bob, ... Phil and Bill seem to complement each other perfectly.
I didn't care for the Keith and Donna years much. As good as 1979 to 1983 were, once again the clutter of two drummers just takes away the energy for me.
Hard to handle, Betha and Casey Jones are really nice (despite the person doing the woo woos !)

In building a rock memorabilia room, and trying to find a ticket to a particular GD concert I had attended at the Palladium way back when, I stumbled onto
...
this site. When I realized someone had actually taped this show, you can imagine my excitement. I was actually a little afraid to listen to it (the dreaded flashback from the Orange Sunshine somebody -- probably with the GD-- passed around. It was so potent I still remember walking to the car and cops with billy clubs beating kids who were tripping out. I ended up at County General -- from the chemicals, not the cops).
I didn't even remember the NRPS playing that night, but it explains my fondness for them when nobody else i know has ever heard of them (and bless satellite radio for playing their best cuts).
As for the taping, it is truly a unique experience, probably due to the mikes being in the middle of a very enthusiastic audience and able to capture much of the dynamic feel (often catching a live clap track in surround sound).
I have many of the GD Dick's Picks and still haven't listened to anything like Jerry's extended solo at the end of Truckin'. It's too bad it cuts off short -- I'm not sure what happened -- but I think I have a program that will tidy it up a little.
Anyway, I haven't even listened to the whole thing yet but had to log in throw in my 2 cents. And best thing -- no flashbacks so far!!!

I agree, five stars aren't enough. I was 18, it was my second Dead show, the Hollywood Palladium an Art Deco palace. Once in the doors, we worked our
...
way to maybe thirty feet from the stage, right center. Right in front of Jerry on pedal steel with NRPS. When the Dead came on, Pig was on our side, and from the first notes of Bertha you knew it was going to be one hell of a Lunar Eclipse. Every song is played with such energy and conviction, every note was just about perfect. I'm not sure if it was the Uncle Sam blotter but we were seeing everyone's aura that night. I remember my face hurting from grinning so much. I finally got my hands on a CD of this show about a year ago from a friend who was born on this day, what a gift. Hard to Handle is best played at top volume with the furniture moved out of the way. My only St. Stephen, but one of the best. Pigpen was in his best form, and Lovelight shines. This is of course, a legendary recording, as Deb Trist put it "It's like a you-were-there experience" (or something like that). Even with Casey's whistle tooter, the audience gives you the feeling of being back on the floor, or leaping in the air, once again. Thank you Rob Bertrando. Thank you Archive.org.

Holy, Holy Smokes!! This show is unbelievable. Remember that page in the Offical Book of the Deadheads that says, "They didn't just pull the vista cruiser
...
out for one song, they pulled it out for the whole damn night!" That pretty much sums up this show. Everything you've read here about this show and recording is accurate. It took 35 years for me to hear this music (I was 12 days old when it was played), but thanks to the archive I'm diggin' it loud and clear today. Forgive me it this has already been mentioned in previous reviews about this show, I haven't read all of them, but this nights Hard To Handle is the performance that is on the Fallout From the Phil Zone collection. It might even sound crisper than the recording that was officially released. Nice. Don't hesitate, just download it & I guarentee you'll be grinnin' soon.

But, there are enough good AUDs out there that it doesn't matter too much right now. This is an amazing show the whole way through. Hard to Handle is an amazing example of Jerry at his best, and the crowd gets insanely pumped during his solo. Opening with an awesome Bertha and closing with an 11 minute Dew and 24 minute Lovelight, this show is great the whole way through. Short feedback trouble in Lovelight while Pigpen works his magic with the crowd, but a minor problem in comparison to the rest of the show.

...
full shows were all the rarer. Even then, I knew this was priceless and without exception the best Hard To Handle I'd ever heard. My view of this version never changed over the years and it was no surprise that Phil included it on Phil Zone. Anyway, this show summarizes a point in time that many will never understand unless they've paid their dues in the archives of the 60's and 70's - when Pigpen's influence had them at their hard core best. The 1st set is somewhat short, but you'll be hard pressed to find better versions of everything played, with the exception of the fuckhead I've wanted to strangle for 30 years 'woo-wooing' while he trashes Casey Jones. The 2nd Set Other One melds into a searing MAMU and back into Other One in a fashion lost through the bands softening over the years with a far more polished sound. The Deal rocks, the Sugar Magnolia rips and they clean house with the Morning Dew and Lovelight. Overall, it's my favorite show and typifies the raw energy displayed in many of the small venues that have given us some of the best music we've come to love. The Hard To Handle jam is Electric Jerry as good as it gets, and Pigpen's timing is right there...I too am surprised this is still available. It's a must have for any true Deadhead and the ultimate psychedelic doorway to anyone waiting for a bus to get on.

I thought I would start adding some reviews to some of these awesome shows. I may as well start here. This is my favorite Aud. The sound of music blends
...
with the sound of the crowd in a good way, and there isnt any moments of really dominant shouts or voices, (I hate when some guy starts screaming out something like "hey play Casey Jones man"), not that there's anything wrong with the song, I just don't want to hear some guys plaintive crys for it throughout the entire set. This show has none of that... Its hard to believe this show was caught with an audience microphone. Whoever did it totally captured the show and did a really great job. And congrats for that. The classic Bertha is a great version with a fine tempo, Mr. Charlie is another one of my favorites from the first set, I just love that song, and its done real well here. Cumberland Blues, where a lot o poor man make a 5 dollar bill is fantastic as always and a few bong gurgles later, Bob sings a fantastic version of me and Bobby McGee. This is not a sterile soundboard, but its absolutely fantastic. I cant see how any Dead fan would be disappointed in this show. This is a must have. Pigpens magnificent version of hard to handle is done just the way its supposed to be, long before those Black Crowe punks prostituted it, and ruined it. Once and a while you will hear someone choking on some of that powerful pot that was everywhere in those days, but this is the best of the AUDs. You would be hard pressed to find a better audience recording of any show. This is the best AUD, in my opinion. for that, and the great set list, I give it 5 stars.

He even busts out some riffs on the slower numbers like Brokedown and Loser. Obviously, the oft-mentioned Hard to Handle dominates the show, but don't let it over-shadow the rest. The band tears out with a hoppin' Bertha. Other 1st set highlights are Mr. Charlie and a funky bluegrass Cumberland. The second set jam is capped off by a ripping Morning Dew. And, of course, no show would be complete without a show-stopping Lovelight. This one's got it all. Amazing quality on this audio tape. Check it.

Hi !
With all these fine reviews, there is little to add, except to point out that the track naming was done in a "safe" fashion, i.e. what would work ... on all CD burners and all CD-Rs.
However, these days, you should be able to fit the longer SET TWO all on one CD-R, if you use "overburning". Check your CD burners instructions to make sure that it is not a problem with your setup. Make sure that you remove the two-second gap between tracks when using Nero or whatever software you choose. Of course, be sure to use a 700MB, "80 minute" CD-R.
You will need to refer to the text file (a separate small download you can find on this page) to identify which tracks are SET ONE and which are SET TWO.
More than likely, this will work for you, and if not, you are only out a few pennies that CD-Rs cost these days. Give at try - it will allow you to listen to each set without interruption - just as originally played.

You might call me the tail end dead head in that I got into the dead as a teenager and was only fortunate enough to see their last three years. That being
...
said I subsist mainly on abridged memories and good bootlegs. Most of the lifer dead heads who were actuallly there in the early years confirm that the early 70's were the best years. This show is testimony to that statement.
All I really can say is that it is rare on any bootleg that I will WANT to listen to the enitre show start to finish. Usually the triggger happy finger will flip to the BEST part or song like flipping to the money shot in a porno. I have to say through and through this show is amazing to the last note. The highlight though is the Uncle tease in the midst of a completely abstruse Other one jam. It is apparent that Bobby and Jerry know exactly when the crescendo will hit and turn from the elusive Other one to the upbeat cowboy poem of Me and My Uncle.
To hear this go to Me and My Uncle and fast backward for about three seconds with those trigger happy fingers.

This audience recording is amazing, but I wish it were at real speed. It's more than a half step fast (if memory serves), so there are over 12,000 copies
...
floating around like that -- that's one reason the energy seems so amazing folks. Now that a soundboard of at least part of this show is going to be released (just discovered by Donna Jean) hopefully we'll get to hear at least part of 8/6/71 in proper pitch. Of course, it also means this source may go away...

Not much else to say here that hasn't been said already. I agree with everybody that this is ... one of the greatest, if not THE greatest AUD recording ever. Five stars ain't enough, especially when you factor in the year and the performance.
Jerry's solo on Mr. Charlie is an absolute shredder!! This has become one of my favorite discs to listen to. Play it loud and you can truly imagine you were in the audience. I know people say that all the time about a show, but this is the one time nobody will disagree. You need this if you don't have it.

Well, six months later and much has changed. I am glad that GDM changed their minds and let the Archive keep all the AUD's up and running, as well as allowing them to stream the SBD's (many of which can be found elsewhere for quick download, wink wink).
A comment on a review that mentioned the speed on this tape being "too fast". Well, I am sure if you picked up the "Houseboat Tapes" Dick's Picks, you realize how wrong you were. In fact, this AUD source is sooo good, I honestly cannot determine where the AUD stops and SBD starts (see liner notes in your DP CD).
The more I hear this show, the more I feel that this may be the BEST recording of a show ever. I know people throw that phrase around, but I have 1000's of hours on tape & CD, have been to my share of shows since 86 and have listened to pretty much everything out there, as I am a music junky. I am not making this statement lightly. The quality, range of pitch (from bass to cymbals), clarity, etc... + the performance = some of the finest art made by mankind.
I am giving this baby out for Christmas this year.

One more note added March 2006: regarding Hard to Handle, listen carefully folks. In many versions of this song, Bobby (yes, Bobby) takes the first lead, not Jerry. Just FYI.

Hey ... I wish you had recorded everything! You set the standard for aud. taping back before we all had D5's and good mics. I have loved this audience

recording for almost 30yrs. What a feat! You got it and I love you for it. This captures the boys in a cosmic-western fury that is hard to beat...Such energy. To those that hate the hwo-hwo guy hey I can,t blame him. If I had been there I would have been "hoootin" too! Freak...on. 7/4/05 addendum I don't buy the half step too fast either... now; for the meat of the matter-SHAME ON THE SURVIVING MEMBERS OF THE BAND for their policy regarding existing recordings.If they take this aud(or any other show) off the archive we need to start the revolution the next morning. What a betrayal of the people that stuck with them through thick and thin for so many decades. Should we all burn our tapes of anything that's been commercially released? What was the point of the open taping policy for so many years if it is now conditional upon commercial releases that most of us won't buy and can't afford...Not to mention the fact that we don't want incomplete shows (whenever possible). Now they've got my Irish up.This is not a bunch of assholes crashing the gate, this is the band's strongest and most loyal supporters who are being hurt. People who expended huge amounts of time,energy and money taping ,trading and following the band. I'm appalled and saddened by this policy. Don't even get me going on the JGB stuff.Is anyone in San Rafael listening or sympathetic?

this is it. This is my favorite version of Hard to Handle- it's the version from The Phil Zone. The jam in the middle was flirted with quite often in this era, but this version fulfilled all expectations. I have few regrets about the Dead, but one is not seeing Pig in his prime, and this show has it. Then, there's jam in the middle. The minor key chord progression makes this swing all the harder. Cool western-outlaw flavor. Untouchable intensity. Givin' this set a five.

My only knock of this show is the "woo woo" guy who won't stop wooing all through the show, especially during Casey Jones where he woo woos at the end of every single line Jerry sings. It's stuff like that that makes me prefer soundboards. I'm all for enthusiasm, just not too close to the taper's mics.

I don't usually bother with audience shows, but my God what a show this is. What a crime that no SBD exists? But this tape is SO good, you don't care.
...
What kind of taping equipment did this guy have in 1971? This sounds better than most AUD 1980's shows I've heard!! A fairly short show, but good things come in small packages. Every song is played with high energy and conviction.The Hard to Handle is legendary, the Cumberland is bluegrass on acid, and the Brokedown is stellar. But the St. Stephen, Truckin>Other One jam is just unbelieveable. And the Morning Dew and Lovelight are icing on the cake. A jam packed little show that will change your opinion of AUD tapes. A must have for 1971. I hesitate to give 5 stars to an AUD show, but read what Mr. Latvala says about this show in Deadbase.Helpful hint-adjust your EQ on your stereo a little, boost the bass, light a bowl of Cheerios and you'll enjoy this just as much as any SBD show from 1971!
